Moptop Maven is the shit! I absolutely love her blog and if you haven’t heard of her or checked her out, you don’t know what you’re missing. This chica is full of great tips-not limited to hair. You can find style, food, health and just every day living advice from her. I can’t go a day without checking out her blog.

Anyhow…I have been trying to figure out ways to pre-condition my hair. Read below and you will find out why adding a pre-poo step in your regimen can be beneficial to your hair and you can see the products that she uses for her pre-poo. For my pre-poo, I used coconut oil, jojoba oil and giovanni conditoner. I will do an update video on how it turned out. Meanwhile, check out her video and her blog! It’s awesome!!!

Here’s a overview on how adding a pre-poo step in your regimen can be beneficial to your hair;

Simply put, using shampoo [especially shampoo’s formulated with sulfates] strips the hair of it’s natural oils [sebum]. Sebum is very important because it plays a vital role in protecting the protein structure of the hair. Doing a Pre-Poo/Pre-Shampoo Treatment preps the hair by adding moisture, therefore minimizing [in most cases eliminating] the harsh effects of shampoo.

I used the following products in my video:
Vatika Coconut Oil [this stuff is AMAZING; actually it is better than amazing]
Navratna Oil [This is an Indian Oil I purchased from Pioneer Cash & Carry in Artesia Ca; You can sub your favorite oil if you can’t find this one]
